CURRENT MISSION

To relax and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I'm an Artistic Blacksmith / metal artist in my free time. My website: www.ironforger.com I'm easy-going, down to earth, and respectful. I live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy various activities like ice-skating, walking, hiking & biking. I eat healthy - low-carb/high fat, organic and sustainable when possible but I do enjoy an occasional good Belgian beer!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you wish to be treated!
